Chapter 199: Earth Blood Essence! Five Golden Magical Beasts!

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

The other five wyverns also let out restless dragon cries, their eyes even redder than Black Dragon Ah Huang's.

Not only that.

The blood vulture mounts beneath the witch brigade also grew restless, breathing rapidly. "Descend ahead!" Li Yue frowned and ordered.

The group lowered their altitude and slowly stopped on a towering tree. "Ah Huang, what's going on?" Li Yue asked.

An attraction that was hard to resist?

What is this?

And it wasn't just Ah Huang who was affected—every mount was affected!

On top of that, the disappearance of all magical beasts within these dozen-plus li made it extremely abnormal. "Master, there's a treasure ahead that can cause all magical beasts to undergo astonishing evolution!" "The attraction of that treasure is irresistible to any magical beast!" Black Dragon Ah Huang said urgently. His dragon eyes stared fixedly into the distance, full of longing.

The dragon race, though intelligent life, was in fact also a top-tier magical beast. "A treasure?" "Astonishing evolution?" Li Yue's gaze sharpened. The magical beasts in this area had all vanished—were they drawn away by that treasure?

What treasure could possibly attract all magical beasts away?

Or rather—this northern region, where so many magical beasts gathered, had also unknowingly been influenced by that treasure? "Do you know what treasure it is?" he asked with a solemn expression.

An attraction strong enough that even Black Dragon Ah Huang couldn't control himself.

One could imagine how astonishing it was. At this moment—the treasure's location likely already had countless magical beasts, and even extremely terrifying ones!

Although Ah Huang was a black dragon.

He was still only a juvenile black dragon.

His strength was far inferior to an adult black dragon.

In this forest, naturally he was far from invincible.

Even in such a vast forest.

Even an adult black dragon arriving probably couldn't run rampant. "Based on the knowledge from bloodline inheritance—" Black Dragon Ah Huang showed a hint of hesitation: "There's a good chance it's 'Earth Blood Essence'!" "Earth Blood Essence?"

Elf Wang Hou Shirley, Bai Yin Elf Hai Rouer, Witch Wang Hou Ka Luoer, Demon Warlock Circe, and Fire Witch Witch Shaman couldn't help but cry out.

They were all powerful units Li Yue had obtained through synthesis.

And synthesized units.

Li Yue had long discovered, all possessed innate knowledge matching their strength and class.

Just like ordinary units summoned from the troop barracks, they all had the knowledge appropriate to their Tier.

Back then, the goblins had helped Li Yue identify quite a few things. "What is this?"

Li Yue watched the few cry out and asked.

"Lord, Earth Blood Essence is the essence of the earth!"

"Just as any living being has its most vital blood."

"The essence of the earth is also blood-red in color, a treasure that takes over a thousand years to form in a single region!" "This treasure has an astonishing effect on any magical beast."

"Moreover, when it's born, the magical beasts in the region will sense it instinctively and gather." Witch Wang Hou Ka Luoer explained.

"A treasure that takes over a thousand years to form!" Li Yue's expression turned solemn.

How long was a thousand years? In his world before transmigration—a thousand years ago was still the era of cold weapons, where commoners couldn't eat their fill or stay warm, and people starved to death in great swathes.

A thousand years later, technology was advanced, ninety-nine percent of people had never experienced hunger in their entire lives, and civilization flourished.

This was an extremely long span of time!

Ancient dynasties would have been replaced three times over! "Master, the attraction is getting stronger!" "The Earth Blood Essence is about to fully mature!" Black Dragon Ah Huang said anxiously. "Go, let's take a look." Li Yue's eyes flickered, and after only a brief moment of thought, he decided to go.

Regardless of whether he could obtain the Earth Blood Essence.

The large gathering of magical beasts was, for him, an astonishing fortune.

Why did he choose to continue hunting northward instead of attacking other lords? Because the gains from destroying other lords—couldn't compare to his northward hunting of magical beasts!

A territory, if it had a top-tier initial barracks, could bring him roughly six to seven thousand energy.

If the initial barracks was poor, it would probably only yield three to four thousand energy.

Yet yesterday, one trip northward.

Had earned him over one hundred and twenty thousand energy!

As for altar upgrade stones, he didn't urgently need them now. After all, Lord Chenxi's territory was already a Bronze territory.

Yet he himself had only advanced to Bronze★ Wizard Tier and Knight Tier. At the very least, he needed to fully reach Bronze himself before upgrading the territory.

Territory upgrades, besides affecting his own strength, would only give a few more talent points.

As for other effects, he hadn't discovered any for now, so he wasn't in a rush. What he needed most—was still energy! Whoosh—Black Dragon Ah Huang flapped his dragon wings and flew toward the direction he sensed ahead.

Behind, five wyverns and one hundred twenty-five blood vultures struggled to keep up.

Fortunately, Li Yue controlled Black Dragon Ah Huang's speed. Otherwise—the witch brigade would likely be left out of sight in moments.

All the way north.

The forest was utterly quiet.

A short quarter of an hour later.

Finally, a large number of magical beast silhouettes appeared in the distance.

And seeing that massive group of magical beast silhouettes, even Li Yue couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.

Too many!

As far as the eye could see.

All manner of magical beasts were packed together.

At least over seven or eight thousand!

What a terrifying number was this?

To be called a magical beast, the lowest was a Black Iron★ supernatural creature.

Seven or eight thousand supernatural creatures.

And among them, there were clearly quite a few Bronze Tier and Bai Yin Tier supernatural creatures.

Such a terrifying mass of demonic beasts gathered together, their momentum was simply enough to instill fear. Not to mention, right at the very front of all the demonic beasts.

There were also five demonic beasts with extremely terrifying auras!

"... ~ My lord, those are five Gold Tier demonic beasts!"

The Witch Wang Hou Ka Ka Luoer looked youthful, her cute face now full of solemnity as she warned. "Five Gold Tier demonic beasts." Li Yue took a deep breath.

Although the strength of his party was not weak.

But they could at most deal with three Gold Tier (if they were good) demonic beasts.

And it would have to be Gold Star. "Are they all Gold Star?" he asked.

The auras of those five demonic beasts were not concealed at all; they surged forth, intimidating the vast number of demonic beasts so they dared not approach. "Master, they are all Gold Star." The Black Dragon Ah Huang spoke up.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed tightly on the cliff, now completely blood-red, surrounded by the five golden demonic beasts.

The blood color on the cliff was flowing.

Just like the blood vessels in a human body.

Among them, in the upper-middle section of the cliff, the blood color was most intense, even forming a blood-red radiance.

Vast amounts of blood were all flowing toward that place! "Roar!!"

The five Gold demonic beasts suddenly turned their heads to look at Li Yue's party, letting out a roar.

Their gazes were fixed tightly on the Black Dragon Ah Huang; although there was wariness in their eyes, there was even more brutality and ferocity!
